Description

During metabolism, molecules are created and broken up, and some of these have an effect on health. Their concentrations are measured from blood, urine and tissue samples. Metabolomics enables the detection of biomarkers that can give an indication of a person’s lifestyle, diet, illnesses and the effects of medication and other xenobiotics.
